Good day, denizens of OC.net! Per our tradition, the forum will shut down for Clean Monday, beginning around 9pm Sunday evening (2/18) and ending around 9pm Monday evening (2/19). In the spirit of the coming Forgiveness Sunday, I ask you to forgive me for the sins I have committed against you. At the end of Great and Holy Week, the Forum will also shut down for Holy Friday and Holy Saturday (times TBA).

Topic: I LOVE EVERYBODY (Read 2108 times)

In the spirit of keeping it nice through Holy Week, I just wanted to let y'all know that, although you may be Albanian, Latin, Jewish, Greek, Russian, Episcopelian/Anglican, Serb, or EVEN A YANKEE, I love ya.

Thank you! I hope to someday be able to love all my brothers and sisters as well as you do now. I'm a Southerner at heart, having lived in VA, LA, and AR many years, and while transplanted here in Yankeeland, I try to not let the natives get to me.

You are also right about the fast nearing its end. Even now I find myself tempted to lose my patience or be testy in my arguments on OC.net. This is because our task is nearing completion and 'something' would love for us to break our discipline now...

I've lived on God's side of the Patomoc for 3 years now, when can I start qualifying myself as an ex-Yank? And do I have to give up my love of the New England Pats & Boston Redsox & New York Yankees to do so?

Now where were we? Oh yeah - the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
